Today is Remembrance Sunday...Growing up in the Uk..I would proudly don my poppy and join others marching in the parade to the cenotaph to lay wreaths and pay our respects to all those who gave their lives protecting our country in the two world wars.. and those conflicts since.
Congratulations to Little Miss who was one of three children chosen to lay a poppy wreath at her towns cenotaph during todays Remembrance Day Service
She did a great job.. and I was so proud... I got a little emotional... maybe because she is growing up too fast (thats her in the middle)
Little Tufty slept through it all but woke up for a photo op...
It was reminder that her great great great Uncle Edwin Hampson... a Sgt Major in the Royal Garrison Artillery.. who was killed on 14 Apr 1917 in France and Flanders. He is buried in Achiet-le-Grand Communal Cemetery Extension, France.
But his name is engraved on the war memorial on the Lychgate of St Marys Church in Ruabon, Wales.. our family village
